Professor Merkely: those who are not inoculated will catch the virus

Béla Merkely, rector of the Semmelweis University of Medicine, said that the infection curve of the fourth wave will be very different from the previous ones since it will be flatter. However, he warned that everybody, who did not get a jab, would catch the virus because the delta variant is very infectious.

According to portfolio.hu, the fourth wave will not overburden the Hungarian healthcare system like the third did last fall – he added. Talking about the third jab he said that it should be taken only if six months passed after the administration of the second jab. Furthermore, it is recommended for the elderly and those struggling with chronic diseases.

He cleared that in Romania the number of new infections is growing because the rate of the inoculated people is very low. Therefore, he does not recommend anybody to travel there.

 
In Hungary, six patients died of a Covid-related illness during the past 24 hours, while 837 new coronavirus infections were registered, koronavirus.gov.hu said on Thursday. So far 5,902,806 people have received a first jab, while 5,669,473 have been fully vaccinated. Fully 854,000 Hungarians have received a booster jab. The number of active infections stands at 8,722, while hospitals are treating 627 Covid patients, 92 of whom need respiratory assistance.

Since the first outbreak, 826,636 infections have been registered, while fatalities have risen to 30,259. Fully 787,655 people have made a recovery. There are 7,083 people in official quarantine, while 7,016,611 tests have been officially carried out.

  1. For otherwise healthy people It is better to catch the virus than take one of the kill shots from Big Pharma. These vaccines are maiming and killing some of the recipients.

  2. Absolute nonsense and it’s people like you spreading misinformation. There’s no telling how badly COVID can affect somebody. A healthy 15 year old died after contracting COVID, on the day she was due to be vaccinated. That’s just one case out of thousands. Perhaps you’d like to tell us where your research comes from, data you’ve analysed, scientific reports you’ve read.

  3. One can still become infected even after being inoculated but the severity of the effects of the virus is greatly reduced as the data has shown (for the mainstream vaccines). Data for the Chinese vaccines seems to be conspicuous by its absence.

  4. Residence Permit Card Holder.
    Lived 4 years in Budapest, Hungary.
    Registered x 3 times over past 3 weeks to the Hungarian Government Registraion for Vaccination Site.
    x3 times – site acknowledged registration.

    x2 – regestered by me.
    x1 – registered by my Doctor.

    Iam 71 years of age – and URGENTLY wish to be Vaccinated.

    Until I receive my PID number – I can’t front up to get vaccinated.

    I have emailed Major of Budapest – for ASSISTANCE – live in District v – but no reply.

    I have emailed the HELP Desk of Government : helpdesk.eeszt

    Appaling what Iam going through to get Vaccinated.

    Any readers got other avenues I can pursue ?

    Any advice be very much appreciated.

    Speak English only – no Hungarian.

  5. You could try a reputable private service such as Swiss Clinic, they are authorised to give Covid vaccines. They also have a clinic near you (13th) and always have staff fluent in English. The Hungarian system only really works if you have a Taj card despite claims to the contrary Getting a Taj card is a slow process (it took me 6 months and several emails and several visits to the office) because they claim to send paperwork to the country that one previously had healthcare provided by but in fact they don’t, they just fob you off..

  6. Unfortunately there is a lot of bureaucracy here. The only thing I can suggest is go back to your doctor and push again. Take someone with you if necessary who can speak Hungarian and argue your case. I thought the government said they were vaccinating foreigners but that was ages ago, and then checking on the couple of hundred thousand or so (over 60s) who hadn’t registered. It would appear if you still don’t have the correct paperwork then the system can’t find you. You’re one of the vulnerable age groups. It’s the TAJ number I guess they’re waiting for? Forget emailing departments, you won’t get a reply, you need face to face contact where you can’t be fobbed off, your doctor should help with this. Document everything you have done, like you did above, so they can see how much you have tried to be vaccinated.
    Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

  7. Thank-You for your replies – advice and opinions.
    I could write a Dissertation – what I have tried to get Vaccinated.
    Doctor,Politicians,Embassy,Mayor,Help Desk = but Nobody – is at Home ///
    Having been a Prosecutor in Law – in my “previous” life – my love of – face to face – communication.
    Problem that angers annoys me – in the SERIOUS situation that confronts me – is the unavailability to go and – face to face – resolve this Serious Situation.
    Why – my wife – Residence Permit Card Holder status – registered May – got acknowledged – then 2 plus weeks on early June – receives PID number goes off to Semmelweis Hospital – in June – gets Vaccinated.
    Why – has my Registration – acknowledged by the site set up by the Hungarian Government – why do I still wait for a PID Number ???
    Face to Face – thing of the past in the 21st century – for “better or for worse” – but COMMUNICATION – is it or has it disappeared in vital ares of modern day Society ?
    Could write another Dissertation – on that one ///
    Thank-You sincerly again – for your advice & recomendations.

  8. Face to Face – off we VENTURE – by Bus 15 – to the Swiss Clinic Vaci ut 30.

    Please – because I truely appreciate commentators replies – keep watching this “space” for I will DELIGHTFULLY communicate – the ongoing developements surrounding my NEED to be Vaccinated.
    Please – be assured I have communicated just a springling of what I have endured in my efforts to be Vaccinated.

    Not being overly Dramatic – this exercise or undertaking – the need to be Vaccinated – that continues to test me – it is a personal deep incision into the “core of my being” – testing the Confidence, Belief, Respect & Faith – that has been a “creed” of my being in Governments and Humans.
    Maybe when this is ALL over – may hire Vigardo – and “open the doors” – tell a FACTUAL story – inviting those who would like to hear an oratorical presentation – Face to Face – explanation by a Human being – that Focuses on – Government and “other” systems – FAILURE – that may have or still could – Finish – in a Tragety.

  9. Visit to Swiss Clinic, Vaci ut 30 – Futile.
    Vaccination not possible in Hungary – evan if – like Iam – prepared to pay out of pocket.
    At the Mercy I remain waiting for the applicable Hungarian Government Department – to forward me my PID Number – that will allow me to be Vaccinated.
    St Stephen – Patron Saint of Hungary – please intervein and answer my prayers that my situation be resolved.

  10. The office NEAK National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary is based in Váci út 73/A. However, there seems to be no customer service so I would think you can’t just turn up. Maybe you could ask someone to make an appointment on your behalf and explain your circumstances and go with you, or ask your doctor to help you. +36 1 350 2001

    Or your local Kormányablak, Erzsébet tér 3, perhaps they can advise you, but I would suggest you take someone with you. The delay on your number is too long especially as your wife already has one and been vaccinated.

    Sorry I can’t be more help as I don’t live in Budapest so don’t know the city that well.

  11. My Doctor – phoned the applicable Hungarian Government Department – Responsible – for the processing of Registrations for Vaccination on the 09/10/2021 – to be INFORMED – much to his and my – DISGUST – from the time of Registration Acceptance – that it can take up to a – MONTH – for the process needed undertaken – to GRANT – and communicate back to the applicant – a PID number.
    Hello – are the Lights on ???
    What year – what Decade are we Living in ?
    We are dealing in Peoples Lives matters – the NEED of Vaccination.
